Multi-award winning gospel artiste, Tim Godfrey has said his 2018 hit single, Nara, which features American musician, Travis Greene, was a song he composed out of pain.
According to Godfrey, he was going through a lot at the time the song was composed, and God started reminding him of the things he has done, which inspired Nara.
Revealing that it took him less than two minutes to compose Nara, Godfrey said he never knew the song will become a hit.
His words; “I didn’t even plan to release it. I had recorded another song with Travis, a pure English song that you can listen to and immediately fall in love with. And I asked him if he would like to sing in my dialect? And we were like let’s try it. So I started teaching him, taught him. He recorded on his phone, went back, performed it, came back, and was still making mistakes, we kept pushing it. But long story cut short, we recorded it.
“We had just finished the Fearless concert in 2018 and we had all these amazing performances, and massive tracks that we have done, that we couldn’t wait to release and somehow, I just said to my guys, this is one of the songs that are just there, like there’s nothing in it, just singing like that, and I told them I think we should just release it first.. so we take it off before bringing the major songs.
“Before then, the interesting thing was where Nara came from. Nara came from a place of pain. It’s a thanksgiving song but it came from a place of pain. There was no reason for me to write such a song because of what I was going through at the time… but God just reminded me that we always easily forget the history he has with us, helping us, saving us, and blessing us. God just reminded me of what he has so much done in my life and the lives of my team. That song happened in less than two minutes. It was just me explaining myself to God.”
